To be honest, I should not be writing this review after only a couple of sessions with this machine but having used various other washers in the past including the obvious well known brand, this one is way ahead in ease of use, power, cleaning ability and value for money. There are cheaper washers on the market and I was very tempted to go for one, but although Nilfisk is not well known, I have discovered that they have branches in 40 countries worldwide so that was the deciding factor for me.
I was a little sceptical regarding the claims of others that the patio cleaning attachment would not be up for the job, but I was amazed by how easily it took the stains away with only one sweep. Best to wear wellys for that job as I failed to and paid for with wet socks etc. The success of this washer has to lie in the fact that the pump is made of metal and not plastic, and of course the 120 bar ( 1700psi) pressure and 1700 Watt motor available. Anything less than 120 bar is to my mind a waste of money unless you just want to clean your car. You can buy one for £40 if thats all you want it for. If you do want to do the car however, this comes with a soft brush and soap bowl attachment. The lance itself is also very powerful and was up to anything I threw at it. Very impressive, this machine ranks alongside other great products from Scandinavia such as Volvo/Saab, Nokia, and Bang & Olufsen.
